Incidents

 * Uslian artist Astrid S, who represented Lussantia in Maia Song Contest 6, and ended up 20th in the semi-final, was planned to be the opening act. However, due to death threats coming from various hardcore fans, she escaped the country, stating that she "was only here for the money". The FLBS then announced that the contestant for Lussantia at Turbovision, Katerina Stikoudi, will replace her as the opening act.
 * Daria Kinzer, the host of the show, made notable "ageist" statements during Qualton's and Zvorrhybnnia's voting announcement, saying to Carol Channing that "she will have a heart attack if she continues like that", and stating during Lee Lin Chin's speaking time that "the show will turn into a Retirement Home Song Contest". These declarations did provoke the fury of the Anti-Ageist National Union of Slavania (Double-ANUS), whose spokespersons said that "those statements are just sickening and we ask Mrs. Kinzer to publicly apologize". The latter did not react to this answer yet.
 * The Temekylopian co-spokesperson, Regina Spektor, was attacked by her colleague, the Suspicious Looking Plant, on air. The FLBS had to cut the connection, leaving Kinzer to announce the Temekylopian 12 points herself.
 * The Izol spokesperson, Karen from Finance, asked for two thousand Oos to Kinzer in order to get her to announce the 12 points of the Izol jury. Kinzer stated that "she wasn't paid for that". Karen then insulted Kinzer by saying "Then fuck off bitch". A censoring song luckily was heard before the B-word. She ended up announcing the 12 points after all.
 * At the sight of the D'unelalehi spokesperson, Edin Jusuframic, who appeared topless, Kinzer had to leave the stage and go to the restrooms. Meanwhile, the FLBS played a recap of all the 7 competing songs performed during the night. She came back 4 minutes later, stating that Edin "was fucking hot" and that she had to change her clothes because she "got wet".
 * During the announcement of HollySiz's win, a man pointing a sniper gun at the winning singer was neutralized by security forces. It was later revealed that the man was an Arkaystian citizen, who was supporting Natalia. He allegedely shouted "Natalia Akbar".
